The Green Lime

With so many nutrients and vitamins, this food should be purchased more often than not.  People are so caught up with their vegan boxed foods and canned items that they fail to recognize the true potential of some foods, like this one, for example. I consider the lime to be a powerhouse of citrus fruits and a healthier option for salad dressing.  Add limes to smoothies, salsa, and other foods!             

 

A few healthy benefits and tips below, based on 1 ounce:

* Potassium, assists with nerve and muscle functioning 

* Folate, lowers homocysteine levels
